Support Our Department

We are committed to a process of continuous improvement in order to increase the quality of our education and research programs and become one of the best electrical and computer engineering departments in the country.

These and other improvement activities need increased resources to support endowed program chairs and professorships, scholarships and fellowships for graduate and undergraduate students, and improved laboratories and facilities.

The ECpE Department has a tradition of generosity from its alumni and friends. For example, generous gifts have been used to:
